  1. Maybe they thought he was too insignificant at the time given the larger goal. They might come back to get him (if we didnt know he survives)
  2. SHe looked ready to go and it wasnt really explained why she didnt. :( She would have been better off with him than with LittleFinger - he was the closest thing to a true knight she was ever going to find.
  3. Sadly Ted Levine is probably too old and his image as a psychopath has been ruined by "monk" etc. Who to cast for Ramsey? Perhaps Daniel Radcliffe?
  4. OK i'm on my 5th watching. Or 6th, not sure "Ive seen you kill a man with a shield. You'll be unstoppable with an axe"
  5. Improved on rewatching-and I could buzz through the ick.
  6. I dont like her because she doesnt know how to say "I dont know" - even if she is guessing. One case in point: Arya vs Alys. Thoros can say he doesnt know. So far Moqorro hasnt been uncertain of anything so dont know about him. I dont like anyone in real life who causes problems by claiming certainty when they dont have it - who cross their fingers and hope their guess is right. I had this beaten out of me in my training. Whoever trained her at Asshai probably tried to beat it out of her too, since ppl like Thoros knew better. I bet she has convinced herself that Stannis has lightbringer even though a blind man knew better

  8. My small theory is the audience selected Arianne II so as not to spoil the other chapter which may have sounded more delicious.
  9. I think it was made pretty clear that the Lannister incest was totally unacceptable to Westeros. The Targaryens were the only exception and that was because when they arrived and conquered Westeros they already had this habit.
  10. But he's "dead" is his wife there? she might not like being in the crossfire.
  11. Except spells. I think about the weirwook trees sharing a root system over large distances that might allow new ones to sprout. No evidence
  12. GRRM also recalls the god Bakkalon, from an earlier story of his
  13. Very similar to the route to the Quiet Isle, other than that IDK. Didnt seem odd to me but I am new to general fantasy
  14. There is a character in the House of the Undying who is totally blue, even the whites of his eyes. Also in another GRRM story there is a Lady Melange.
  15. I think Dany's big weakness is, as in the book, love. In this case it is love for "her" people. She wont be ready to rule until she gets over that. Meereen wasnt exactly a ringing success. Right now the arc has her heading away from Meereen, possibly with the killer enteritis. Marie
  16. I scanned this forum in hopes of not being repetitive but cant promise to not be trivial; (D)A(e)mon (the) (Dragon)Knight Marie
  17. And Cersei has more than one valonquar (little brother)
  18. re: Straw man When you want to falsely but convincingly take apart someone's argument you create a straw man (like the fake guys on the wall) and then shoot him down. Meanwhile the real man is going - hey! That aint right!
  19. Next season will feature Viserys coming out of the shower and Dany saying I just had a hell of a dream.
  20. <spittake> My take on the Jaqen thing was that he didnt have TIME to kill Tywin as fast as Arya needed - And here someone tried to tell me that this was the snarkier forum <G>
  21. Well perhaps this will take the knot out of your tongue "Game of Thrones explained" Marie
